Concedit

Concedit is a Latin verb form meaning “he/she/it grants, concedes, allows.” It is the third-person singular present indicative active of concedere, the verb from which English concede, concession, and several related terms derive. The basic sense of concedere is to yield or grant something, or to admit a point.

In usage, concedit appears across classical, medieval, and ecclesiastical Latin texts. It is commonly found in legal, philosophical, and rhetorical contexts to indicate that a point is being granted or admitted. In translations, concedit is typically rendered as “he concedes” or “it grants.” The noun form concessio denotes the act or grant itself, producing English words such as concession and concessive.

Grammatical notes: concedo, concedis, concedit, concedimus, conceditis, concedunt form the present tense. Other related forms include concedit as part of various dependent clauses, where one party acknowledges a proposition or grant within an argument or agreement. The root con- plus cedere reflects the broader sense of yielding or granting.

In modern English-language scholarship, concedit is mostly encountered in discussions of Latin grammar, classical texts, or translations of Latin passages. It may also appear in legal or ecclesiastical Latin glosses and in scholarly apparatus that render Latin phrases into English. For general readers, the term is largely of historical or linguistic interest rather than common usage.
